I admit, I got a ticket to this show mostly because I enjoyed the guy's Netflix special Abroad Understanding (which I'm not sure if it's available on Netflix globally, but if you've paid for the subscription, you might as well look for it).
It was rainy when I drove to Sentul (and parked at the adjoining primary school) and it was raining when I left Sentul. The RELA were better at organising the cars this time.
Any way, had a snack from the couple of food trucks that were there on site, despite having had dinner at home because I was cold from the weather and also the AC. It was a little interesting for me, being one of the few yellow skinned people in attendance, besides a huge group of what could be mainland Chinese people.
When I got inside, it was beer for RM12, water for RM3. I snuck in my own Ribena because.
After being seated for awhile waiting for the show to start (around 9.15?), a group of guys were asking people to switch seats so that they can all sit together, but the seats they were offering up were crappier than the ones they're in, so no one took up their offer, myself included. I gave an older couple props for actually getting out of their own paid for seats, looked at the offered seats, and was like... nope. (Those guys self upgraded by moving to the last row of the next section after the break, so whatever).
The show started around 9.15 p.m., he did 45 minutes before announcing a 10 minute break before doing another 45 minutes? The no recording rule was also seriously enforced, which is understandable considering some material for the show people might find offensive.
So during the second half, I guess Vir beh tahan already with people trying to sneak pictures/recordings/etc while he was performing, so he told everyone to just get their phones out and get the pictures taken and done with, so he did a couple of poses for people to shoot, and continued with the show. Hence the fuzzy pictures.
Some bits and references went over my head, but overall it wasn't hard to get into and laugh at. But it wasn't exactly tears-down-the-face funny for me as a non-Indian person.
